@HoodPrank You've got to be joking, despite the wonderful long ball M.NEUER clearly misjudged the flight of the ball and ended up 1-2 metres out of position. That is why he never made contact with the ball himself, despite his superior position.
@Quest- That isn't an error leading to a goal though. Had he caught then subsequently dropped the ball to Jiminez's feet then sure- because he had a genuine opportunity to prevent the goal but didn't. As it was he just failed to get to a cross- albeit theatrically and drastically. If that's a genuine error leading to a goal then how about the countless times a fullback fails to prevent a cross from coming into the box when a striker is waiting unmarked in the area or a central defender is narrowly beaten in the air by an attacker. Even if Neuer stayed on his line, Jiminez could've scored. It's harsh to award an error to a keeper for EVERY mistake they make, especially when if the mistake had not occurred, the goal still may have.
Bayern seems asleep I thought when they came back against juve they woke up but it appears not.
If they get kicked out of the CL its their own fault.
(Only Lahm is making good runs.)
FORGET IT PEOPLE. HALF OF BENFICA'S TEAM IS OUT, NO KIDDING: Júlio César, Mitroglou, Nico Gaitan, Jonas, Luisão (inspite of being called shouldn't play and it's not fit) Portuguese teams always have a lot of injuries when facing stronger oponnents, unbelievable...
Wolfsburg did well vs Real at home, Benfica can do the same with concentration and luck. However, Bayern always replies if they go behind, typical for german club. Expect this to be high scoring game with Bayern proggressing.
It's hard to come up with reasons for Benfica to win this game, other than being at home, but they do not have Jonas. If Bayern score they will lock down and play boring as the previous commenter said. I will admit the underdog here would be a GREAT story especially with Pellegrini taking City to the Semi's. It would be nice to see Pep watching the semi's from his couch!
guys what do you think about this bet:bayern to win basel to win evertoon not to lose fener not to lose .... and if you have any other tip, share with me,please,,,,
I think this is too big task for Benfica as Bayern only needs to score one goal and they're basically through. That's likely to happen at some point and I don't see Benfica scoring three goals without Jonas and probably Gaitan.
Benfica did well in the 1st leg as they limited Bayern to only one goal, but I simply can't see how they will manage to do it again. They need to have possession to play their own game, but it's nearly impossible to dominate Bayern. The hosts also need to play a more open game here to have a chance of qualifiying and I expect that to work in Bayern's favor.
i signed up just to make this comment... This is where stars are born although bayern is a strong team i overlooked benfica chemistry and performance that got them here Renato Sanches!!! this is your time to shine 3-2 Benfica despite the odds!!!
@neumi17 Noo, but bayern is quite good opponents. so i prefer benfica through to the next round. no hard feelings okay mate. Good luck with ur wolfsburg
Correction under Benfica team news ::
Jonas is not the only player who have scored most goals across Europe, Higuan, Ibrahimovich and Ronaldo are all equal with 30 goals..
Glad Bayern went through. They are the best team in Europe.
neuer didn't commit any errors, just a perfect long ball by eliseu

@Quest But the goal would have fallen anyway, Neuer just looked stupid but couldn`t have prevented the goal...
that was a crazy gol
ARTUROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Beautiful Vidal goal wow
Bayern seems asleep I thought when they came back against juve they woke up but it appears not. If they get kicked out of the CL its their own fault. (Only Lahm is making good runs.)
go Benfica now, eliminate that boring Guardiola
costa is terrible, does always do the same, gets the ball doesnt run forward but cuts inside and passes back... every time again
neuer shat.

OMG Bayern is going to win ....Mitroglou is not able to play too :S Gaitan is not able to play
Wolfsburg did well vs Real at home, Benfica can do the same with concentration and luck. However, Bayern always replies if they go behind, typical for german club. Expect this to be high scoring game with Bayern proggressing.
@Underpauler No... go watch the start 11 of Benfica...I lost all my hope
@hellreaper So weak, that Lewnadovski is a sub :D
Benfica 2 Bayern 1. Pep always lose away but Bayern go through
I hope Gaitan will be able to play... We have enough missing key players already.
1-2
once again, it is the the only chance for guardiola to win UCL in bayern

@rokka222 And then going to Man City and watching the Champions League from his couch.
boring guardiola 1-0

Who are these deluded people saying Benfica can win? Obviously Bayern will progress.
@What4 I get it, Real Madrid and Barca fans desperate to avoid Bayern, that's what it is. And Benfica fans too, of course.

@kevin2hard that would mean Benfica get eliminated
@Peter_Griffin 3-2 final score over two legs
@Peter_Griffin I think he didn't realized...
@hellreaper I think hes just a kid
1-2 or 0-2
2 - 0 Benfica
@Vellicahearst Ha,ha,you really hate germans,don`t you ?
@neumi17 Wolfsburg beat Real Madrid 2-0 at home. It's football. You must really love Germans.
@neumi17 Noo, but bayern is quite good opponents. so i prefer benfica through to the next round. no hard feelings okay mate. Good luck with ur wolfsburg
Benfica should win this.
Benfica win or draw
Correction under Benfica team news :: Jonas is not the only player who have scored most goals across Europe, Higuan, Ibrahimovich and Ronaldo are all equal with 30 goals..
@Kaycee_GH but no one has scored more as they said.
Jonas to score from the half way line because neuer will be off his line. Benfica win 2-0
@Beastador Right but Jonas is going to miss this match due to yellow card, did you know that?
@hellreaper no I didn't know that but I still hope someone scores from the half way line.
I don't see Bayern not scoring.2-1 for Bayern
Benfica are experienced campaigners. They know how to sh*t on big teams.
3 - 1 to stun Bayern
Pep has just as good a chance as a coin flip of winning away from home
